Union Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal has alleged that the BJP and other Opposition parties were not allowing Parliament to proceed on the issue of FDI even though the Government was ready for a debate.
Talking to presspersons here Jaiswal, who came to attend the concluding ceremony of the Kalki Mahotsava last night, said the Government was ready for a debate under Section 184 but the BJP and other Opposition parties were stalling Parliament.
He alleged that the BJP was unnecessarily protesting in the name of FDI and coal block allotment, even when the States have been given a free hand on FDI implementation.
Jaiswal said he wanted to question those opposing FDI whether any debate was conducted on the issue during the NDA regime.
“If it’s not bullying then what is it,” he said.
The Minister alleged that the BJP’s statement on the 2G issue was laughable and smelt of a conspiracy.
He said whether it’s 2G or coal block allotment, the CAG report was not completely correct and he alleged a conspiracy to defame the Government.
